The preparations for Rosh Hashanah are underway. Amongst the many culinary arrangements for the Yom Tov is the preparation of the various simanim foods that are customarily eaten on Rosh Hashanah. Many a housewife has said that if they could focus on the Yom Tov cooking without having to worry about patchkening with black-eyed peas, tzimmes, squash, fish heads and the other simanim, it would make things so much easier.
For years, Keren Even Habochen Ner Moshe’s simanim packages sold in Lakewood, NJ, have been doing just that.
Even Habochen’s creative simanim packages are decoratively designed and include a delicious array of simanim, including an apple, pomegranate, tzimmes (carrots), black-eyed peas, squash, fish head, cabbage, beets and dates. Also included in the package is a Shehecheyanu fruit and a printed card with all the Yehi Ratzons to be said while eating the appropriate foods.
No further preparation is necessary. For a donation of $30 to Even Habochen, one can simply pick up a simanim package from the designated pick-up location in Lakewood, Park Terrace, and place the package in the fridge until Yom Tov. It is as easy as that.
Keren Even Habochen is the well-known organized chazara and bechina program in Beth Medrash Govoos of Lakewood in which 500 yungeleit from participating chaburos take rigorous closed-book exams on the material learned each month, and are rewarded monetarily, based on the level of their achievements on the exam. The success of the program is well-known in Lakewood and elsewhere, raising the level of limud haTorah to a new plateau. All proceeds from the simanim packages will go directly to benefit Keren Even Habochen.
Even Habochen’s simanim packages are expertly prepared by Locker Caterers, renowned for their delicious and flavorsome food, under strict KCL supervision.
In past years, Even Habochen has sold well over a thousand packages, so be sure to pick up the simanim packages early.
The simanim packages are a great gift opportunity. In the past, many people have chosen to treat their wife, mother, shvigger, sister or friend to the wonderfully prepared and tasty simanim package.
The packages will be available for pick-up tomorrow, Thursday, 28 Elul/September 17, the day before Erev Rosh Hashanah, starting at 9 a.m., on a first-come, first-served basis, at Park Terrace Hall in Lakewood.
